21 spectral formulation of residue: pseudodifferential operator P σ, Laplacian P σ Res s=0 Tr(P σ s ) same up to a constant c m = 2 m+1 π m Mellin transform (for simplicity Ker( ) = 0): heat kernel expansion Tr( s ) = 1 Γ(s) Tr ( e t ) = t m/2 N n=0 0 Tr(e t ) t s dt t a 2n t n + O(t m/2+n+1 )
22 find for any non-negative integer n m/2 1: Res s=m/2 n Tr( s ) = a 2n( ) Γ(m/2 n), in particular Res s=1 Tr( s ) = a m 2 ( ) in terms of Wodicki residue: a m 2 ( ) = 1 c m Res( 1 ) = 1 2 m+1 π m Res( 1 )
